MAYOR ENTERS RACE FOR LIBERAL NOMINATION Peter Milobar will battle Steven Puhallo for right to run in Kamloops-North Thompson Flanked by wife Lianne and various supporters, Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar announced on Tuesday he is seeking to succeed Health Minister Terry Lake as B.C. Liberal candidate in Kamloops-North Thompson. North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Steven Puhallo is also challenging for the nomination.

Peter Milobar will seek the B.C. Liberal nomination in Kamloops-North Kamloops. Milobar will remain as mayor of Kamloops while he battles Steve Puhallo for the nomination that opened up after current MLA and Health Minister Terry Lake announced last week he will not seek a third term in the May 9, 2017, provincial election. Milobar confirmed his candidacy for the nomination at a press conference Tuesday morning on McArthur Island. Puhallo announced his candidacy at a press conference Friday at Wilson House in North Kamloops, home of the North Shore Business Improvement Association, of which he is executive director. Milobar pointed to his two terms as a city councillor and three successful campaigns for mayor as proof he has what it takes

to lead the B.C. LIberals to another victory in the riding. “I feel I know what it takes to campaign, I know what it takes to get the vote out and, in a riding that frankly will probably be pretty close, that’s going to count for a lot,” he said. Milobar said as an MLA, he would try to

continue Lake’s partnership with KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Todd Stone, who is running again for the Liberals in that riding. “We’ve heard Todd Stone talk about the great teamwork that he and Terry had developed, making sure that the ridings were almost seamless, and I want to

continue that on because I think that does provide a lot of strength for the overall riding,” he said. A nomination date for the party has not yet been set, though Puhallo told media last week he hopes to see a candidate selected before the Liberals’ pre-election convention in early November.

Should Milobar win that contest, he said he would not immediately step down as mayor, but would take a leave of absence once the election period formally begins. “We don’t shut down city hall when we’re in a municipal campaign, so I’m very experienced in knowing when you’re

at a community event and speaking for the City of Kamloops and when you’re at a more partisan political event. I know how to separate the two,” he said. Milobar said he would also be speaking to council about whether to continue as the city’s negotiator with KGHM Ajax if he becomes the

party’s nominee. The city is in talks with the mining company to create a community benefit agreement for its proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. If he were to win the nomination and the general election, Milobar said he would expect to see a by-election held to replace him, though that decision would be up to city council. While he can run for a higher level of office without giving up his seat, should any councillors seek to replace him, Milobar said he believes they would need to first resign from council. That could mean multiple seats up for grabs should a civic byelection come to pass.

A man accused of murdering a woman whose body was found in a Kamloops motel will appear in court on Sept. 22. The date was set yesterday by the Crown and a lawyer acting temporarily for David Albert Miller. The 54-year-old accused remains in custody following his arrest and first appearance in an Ontario courtroom. Miller is accused of killing 52-year-old Debra Novacluse, whose body was discovered on Aug. 27 at the Super 8 motel on Hugh Allan Drive in Aberdeen. Miller was charged late last month

after he was arrested by members of the Kamloops RCMP’s serious-crime unit in Napanee, Ont. Not yet represented by a lawyer, Miller is scheduled to appear in court in Kamloops Sept. 22. Police were called to the motel at about 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 27. In a press conference days following the discovery, Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller would not say how or where the body of Novacluse was found, or by whom. Mueller said investigators tracked Miller as he left Kamloops and travelled to Ontario. Mueller would not say whether Miller was still in Kamloops when Novacluse’s

body was found. “This was a very dynamic and timesensitive investigation,” Mueller said, noting Miller and Novacluse were involved in “some form of a relationship.” “Based on our investigation, we know this was a targeted attack,” Mueller said. Both Miller and Novacluse are from Abbotsford. Mueller said Miller had been in Kamloops for a period of days before Novacluse’s body was found, noting Miller frequented the city, but had little interaction with local Mounties. Miller has a lengthy criminal record, including convictions for fraud and violent offences.

Police seek 15-year-old girl reported missing Kamloops Mounties are asking for the public’s help in finding a 15-year-old girl. Angelis Justis was reported missing from her home on Wednesday, Aug. 31. She is white, stands 5-foot-5 and has a slim build.

Angelis has dark, shoulder-length hair and tattoos of dots on her left forearm. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Angelis is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Mayor Peter Milobar won’t be footing the bill for a Kamloops byelection, should he become Kamloops-North Thompson’s next MLA. A day after Milobar announced he is seeking the B.C. Liberal party nomination to succeed MLA Terry Lake in next year’s provincial election, the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation put out a call for the mayor to contribute to his own replacement costs. “If he’s sitting at an all-candidates’ meeting in May, preaching fiscal responsibility as B.C. Liberals generally do, all the NDP candidate has to do is point at him and say, ‘Hey, this is a guy who is costing us $50,000 in a byelection. I’ll save you $50,000 right now taxpayers — defeat this guy and leave him as out mayor,’” Jordan Bateman said. “That’s going to be a problem for him.” There is a precedent for a mayor paying the costs of a byelection caused by seeking a higher office in politics. Dan Ashton, former mayor of Penticton, cut the city of 33,000 people a $32,000 cheque to cover the costs of a byelection after he was elected MLA in 2013. Other mayors have left the cost to the public or, Bateman noted, convinced their councils to allow them to take a leave of absence until a byelection is no longer required under the Local Government Act (Jan. 1 or later in a municipal election year). The provincial election is set for May 9, 2017. The next municipal election will take place on Oct. 20, 2018. The latter tactic was used by Peter Fassbender, then-mayor of Langley City, who took unpaid leave for about six months after he was elected MLA. Cindy Kennedy, the City of Kamloops’ corporate officer, said the estimated cost of a bylection in Kamloops is $120,000. Not only is Kamloops several times larger in population, Pentiction only uses a single polling place during its elections, while Kamloops has traditionally scattered polls throughout the city’s neighbourhoods, increasing the cost. The last city election cost about $125,000. As to whether he’d cover the costs, Milobar said his answer is no. “I think it’s a slippery slope to go down. You have different sizes of cities and you’d be essentially saying to people wanting to seek other offices, unless you have significant personal wealth, you’re precluded from doing something,” he said. Milobar argued byelections are a necessary cost of the democratic process. “Three years ago, there was no indication that Terry would be creating a vacancy,” he said. “Last Wednesday there was no indication Terry was creating a vacancy. This is not something I willfully put myself in a position to do. That’s just how the election cycles line up.” Bateman agreed the current election cycle does leave local politicians in an awkward position. He said the province should look at shifting the election timing to bring provincial and municipal elections into the same year to avoid the need for byelections — or even have voters cast ballots on the same day. In the meantime, Bateman suggested Milobar could consider making a smaller contribution, perhaps $10,000.

Should Mayor Peter Milobar manage to win both the B.C. Liberal Party’s nomination in Kamloops-North Thompson and the MLA’s seat in next May’s provincial election, he won’t be required to step down as mayor. While politicians can’t hold two positions in local government — city councillor and electoral area director for a regional district, for instance — corporate officer Cindy Kennedy, who serves as the city’s chief electoral officer during municipal campaigns, said nothing prohibits a person from holding offices in multiple levels of government. At a press conference on Tuesday, Milobar indicated he would step down if elected MLA, but could stay on in the short term if several sitting councillors decide to take a shot at the mayor’s seat, which would require them to resign their seats. “If a couple decided to do that, you could have quite a few empty seats and it might be more pragmatic for me to stay on until the byelection happened, just so we have enough people to have a quorum around the council table,” Milobar said. “I’ll play that one by ear and I’m happy with whatever direction council decides to go in.” Kennedy said current councillors would have 14 days after a byelection is called to resign their seats and seek the mayorship. Those vacant councillor seats would then be part of the byelection as well, giving new council hopefuls a shot at the job. The byelection must be held within 80 days of a chief election officer being appointed. Council must hold byelections for vacant seats until Jan. 1, 2018, Kennedy said. After that point, it can pass a resolution to leave seats empty until the regular municipal election on Oct. 20, 2018. As to the leave of absence Milobar has stated he will take during the provincial election campaign, should he win the Liberal nomination, Kennedy said it’s up to council whether he receives his regular paycheque during that period. “The city would pay him unless there is a motion from council for it to be an unpaid leave,” she said.

The driver of this Rav 4 somehow hit the wrong pedal and ended up parking the vehicle partially inside the Mark’s store in Aberdeen on Tuesday morning. Police say the building and vehicle sustained extensive damage. No serious injuries were reported. Later that day, a vehicle left Tranquille Road and struck the Library Square building in North Kamloops, causing significant damage to vehicle and building. In neither case were injuries reported. Alcohol was not a factor in either crash.

A Way Home to Canfield workshop the Royal Inland Hospital’s rapid-access breast health project was picked — one of the women contacted Reid the next day with her donation. The Y is one of 17 partners that work with A Way Home. Reid praised the donor, who does not want her name revealed, as a “very grounded woman who wants to see other women who might not have the opportunity for something like this to go to it.” The proceeds from the Canfield workshop will be split between A Way Home and Developing World Connections for a project it has in Guatemala. The A Way Home youth housing initiative began in 2012 when McParland and others started meeting in a vacant downtown building to discuss the issue of homeless youth. “It was very grassroots,” she said, but added it started to formalize after the city created a youth homelessness plan and

An anonymous donor has given $5,000 to send struggling women to Jack Canfield’s motivational workshop in Kamloops next month. Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, will speak on Oct. 1 at Thompson Rivers University’s Grand Hall. The workshop has a registration fee of $229. The donation follows a presentation A Way Home co-ordinator Katherine McParland and Kamloops YMCA-YWCA CEO Colin Reid gave to the philanthropic group 100 Women Who Care. The group meets quarterly and everyone donates $100. Members hear pitches from a variety of causes and groups in the city, voting on which one to support. While A Way Home was not chosen —

contacted her to ask if the group wanted to work with it on the plan. From that came the Kamloops Youth Homelessness Wrap Force, a partnership of 17 agencies that work together to provide housing and other support youth might need. Each youth has a unique team designed to ensure they are connected with resources and services that will help them move forward in their lives. McParland said A Way Home had 92 referrals in the past 12 months, but noted there isn’t enough available housing for all of them. Sixteen were given housing in the past six months, five were reconnected with family and two received medical treatment for lifestyle issues. “The need is great,” McParland said. A Way Home is looking for sponsorships for youth tickets to Canfield’s workshop. Those able to help can call 250-3207837.

Photo of hot dogs will not offer legal protection Taking a photo of a dog in a hot car before smashing a window to rescue it won’t protect you from legal issues, according to the City of Kamloops. Community safety man-

ager Jon Wilson said despite what some Facebook posts might suggest, a photo won’t protect you from facing charges of unlawful entry into a vehicle or being liable for damages.

Wilson said SPCA officers and police are able to break into a vehicle to retrieve an animal in critical distress — essentially near death — but members of the public should focus on calling the authori-

ties and finding the owner of the vehicle as quickly as possible. To report a pet in distress, call bylaw enforcement at 250-828-3409 or the RCMP at 250-838-3000.

TIME AGAIN TO BE BEAR AWARE

s usual this time of year, as summer slowly gives way to autumn, bear sightings are common. Some bruin viewing is done in the animals’ natural habitat; other sightings are in urban areas, where we don’t want the bears to be. Residents need to understand they play a primary role in the situation. Bears are always hungry, especially in the late summer and early fall when they are building up fat levels for hibernation. It doesn’t take long for a bear to realize garbage is an easy source of food. And it is that addiction that brings bears into potential conflict with people. The general outcome is a bear being destroyed because of the risk they increasingly pose. But such a death sentence can be avoided if residents do their part. Keep your garbage can in a secure location and abide by the Kamloops bylaw that prohibits garbage bins from being placed outside before 4 a.m. on collection day. And, while you are at it, pull down the bird feeders because the birds don’t need the food in the summer and the seed draws bears. Clean up fruit as it begins to ripen and monitor your compost. There are those who suggest conservation officers should always trap garbage-addicted bears and relocate them instead of destroying them, but that is more an emotional response than a practical one. Once an animal is hooked on trash, they will walk for several kilometres to the nearest neighbourhood instead of returning to natural food sources. Now is the time for residents to be responsible and ensure their four-legged neighbours are protected.

A call to less than $15 club

friend in Ontario came up with a fascinating campaign, one that would be interesting to see roll out across the country. He suggested every working Canadian being paid less than a living wage should call in sick one day and see what happens to the country’s business and service sectors — and to its economy. Here’s what he wrote: “What say we pick a day early next year and call it the national sick day? Where everyone making under $15 calls in sick. Since we are seen as unnecessary unskilled labour, unworthy of a living wage, who would even notice? After all, according to the skilled labour and professionals, we aren’t really doing anything important.” Now, it’s fair to say this friend — his dad was one of my bosses in a previous journalistic life — is a bit of a rabble-rouser and his suggestion came on Labour Day. He’s a person with strong opinions he not only shares, but lives up to, having thrown his name into the election ring a couple of times in the past, running for the Greens in my Ontario hometown. He raises an interesting point, however. Fifteen dollars is often put forward as a basic living wage; it’s one anti-poverty groups throughout the country have called to be implemented. B.C. NDP Leader John Horgan has said he’ll raise the minimum wage to that level if he is elected next year (that

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL wage rate is scheduled to go to $10.85 an hour from the current $10.45 later this month, but that still leaves it as the lowest in the country). The head of the B.C. Federation of Labour and the think-tank Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives have also called for a $15 rate. Even Bernie Sanders pushed for it during his U.S. presidential nomination campaign. That’s to be expected, however, as each proponent tends to walk at least a bit on the left side of the political spectrum. It’s important to note a living wage is not the same as a minimum wage. It’s what many experts say a worker should be making in order to live a life that doesn’t mean ongoing worries about making ends meet, feeding a family, providing good safe housing and seeing their children have the basics of life. Living Wage Canada, one of the main proponents, says it’s good for everyone. For employees, it raises them out of poverty,

gives them a better quality of life, improved health and more changes for further education. For employers, it can lead to less absenteeism, less turnover of staff, lower training costs, a better workplace morale and recognition as a responsible employer. And, for the economy, it means consumers with more money to spend and who can more fully engage with their community. The idea my friend put forward is truly intriguing. Think of how many people you encounter in a day who would not be there on that one day. There wouldn’t be many behind the counter at those places you buy a coffee, a sandwich or donut. Don’t expect anyone to be on the line at any call centre you contact for help. Any service-industry job, particularly those filled by women, would be gone that day as most of those who make minimum wage in the province are single mothers. Forget about eating out that day; dishwashers for the most part would be absent. Each performs a job we simply expect to be done every day. We don’t always think about that financial reality in which they live. So, while my friend’s idea is never going to gain momentum, he presents an idea worth pondering as you go through the next few days, interacting with workers throughout Kamloops. How many of them are living in poverty — and what do we need to do to end it? dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THE REALITY OF OWNING A SMALL BUSINESS Editor: Re: Josh Turnbull’s letter of Aug. 25 (‘Downtown not so alive after five’): It was with frustration that I read this letter. Turnbull doesn’t mention what time he made it downtown; was it 6 p.m. or 9 p.m.? Attracting people to our downtown core has been a serious challenge in the last decade, ergo fewer regular shoppers. Combine that with cost increases forced by every level of government and suppliers over the same period and it has meant many of us are no longer able to afford the staff we had a decade ago. While I can’t speak for all downtown businesses, I am confident in saying most of us have faced financial challenges arising from increased debt loads, decreased revenue and the decline in the appreciation of the contribution of unique, indepen-

dent local businesses to our community. We take pride in offering unique, often local or Canadianmade products and the knowledge we bring to the buying experience. Yes, you may shop online. For you, it may be more convenient or you may perceive it to be easier since you don’t have to leave home or interact with anyone else. Consider, though, when you are making those online or bigbox store purchases, that those anonymous entities are not part of your community. They probably won’t be donating to the Kamloops Food Bank or Salvation Army, won’t be sponsoring your child’s sports team, won’t be donating goods or services to your fundraiser, won’t be creating job diversity in your neighbourhood and won’t be offering practicum opportunities for students. Finally, on a practical note, it

may not sound like much to ask a retailer to stay open an extra three or four hours, but here are some numbers: Our location is already open 11 hours per day, six days per week, plus seven hours on Sunday. To open an additional four hours means my husband and I will have to work those hours on top of the 12-hour days we average. In lieu of that, we would need to hire additional staff to accommodate the extended hours — at least two people, probably three. The average cost for us to train an employee is $7,000 per person. Assuming we had trained staff already in place, an extra four hours per day would cost us roughly $150 in wages, vacation pay, employer EI premiums, employer CPP remittances and WorkSafe premiums, not to mention the hard costs of increased insurance premiums (longer hours cost more), higher

hydro and natural-gas costs and increased security risk. On the last event for which we extended hours (City Lights in the Night), we had three employees on site and offered free coffee and hot chocolate. In a four-hour period, we had fewer than 20 people through the door, sold approximately $25 worth of product and had a table broken, a coffee urn damaged and well over $150 worth of product damaged by an intoxicated individual. Those four hours cost us roughly $500. So, I’m sorry if Turnbull did come to our store, only to find it closed, but sincerely hope he will make the trip down sometime during the 73 hours per week we are open and find out what sets us apart. We would love to meet him. Robyn Haley Kamloops

DANGER SEEMS TO LURK IN SIMPLY BEING ALIVE Editor: I was interested to read of Donna Russell’s efforts to launch a civil claim against the City of Penticton after she tripped over a tree root in a park in the South Okanagan city (‘Kamloops woman files civil suit against City of Penticton,’ Sept 1). I cannot help but wonder, though, as to the possible implications should the claim be successful.

The other day, for example, while walking in Riverside Park, I was bitten by mosquitoes. Could this, I wonder, be turned into a claim against the city? I see no reason why not. Surely, I could argue, the city has been derelict in fulfilling its responsibilities to protect me from such attacks by not being diligent in its fumigation program. I would further suggest they should also have constructed signs with such statements

as: “Enter a your own risk — beware of mosquitoes.” In order to cover all other possible contingencies, the sign could also include warnings about ants, spiders, protruding tree roots, slippery grass and other possible risks. Risk management is the answer as it gives us the protection we deserve. Geoff Eggleton Kamloops

Seeking shelter leads to shelter in prison CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A carpenter and crystal meth addict who broke into a transit exchange lunchroom so he could get shelter for the night will spend a year in jail and another year on a curfew as part of his sentencing for a string of crimes. David Chales was

sentenced Monday in provincial court after pleading guilty to charges including forcible entry of the transit building, break and enter into the camera shop, possession of stolen property, possession of break-in tools and possession of stolen credit cards. Crown prosecutor Oliver Potestio said Chales’ most recent

problems started on Jan. 4 when RCMP responded to an alarm at a commercial building on Tranquille Road. Chales and another man were arrested nearby. RCMP found a number of camera bodies and lenses in his possession. Potestio said about $2,600 worth of gear was missing

Judge Stella Frame sentenced Chales to slightly more than a year in jail, taking into consideration the approximately three months he has already spent in prison. After release, he will be bound by an evening curfew.

Court doesn’t buy entrapment argument TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

A Kamloops man who claims he was forced by police to commit a crime to avoid being placed in psychiatric care has lost his bid for an entrapment hearing. Jonathan Phillips was convicted by a jury last month of four charges stemming from a slow-speed police pursuit in June that ended with a stolen truck and trailer sitting on rims outside the Shark Club restaurant on Lorne Street in the downtown core. On June 18, Phillips stole a

truck pulling a flat-deck trailer with a tractor on it from an agriculture business. Police deployed a spike belt and the truck stopped near Third Avenue and Lorne Street. Phillips, a former psychiatric nurse, represented himself at trial. During a previous hearing, court heard he suffered a brain injury years ago in an altercation with a nightclub bouncer. Following his conviction, Phillips claimed he had been entrapped by police and forced to commit crime. He claimed he felt he had two options — arrest under the Mental Health Act, which would

have seen him placed under the care of doctors, or arrest under the Criminal Code, which would land him in jail. Phillips said he felt forced to choose the latter to avoid psychiatric care. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jennifer Duncan rejected Phillips’ application for an entrapment hearing. “There’s no evidence police offered Mr. Phillips the opportunity to commit the crimes of which he was convicted,” she said. Phillips, who is in custody, is slated to return to court for a two-day sentencing hearing beginning on Oct. 13.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Save your home! Don’t sell your home unless you want to! Bills, household expenses and poorly structured mortgages can wreck havoc on the family finances. If this sounds like you, there are options to explore, and you often don’t have to sell your home unless you want to! Bills and high housing costs can sometimes be addressed by looking at three things: 1. Amortization For years, many lenders have been advising clients to choose 20 or 25 year amortizations so the client doesn’t have to pay as much interest over the life of the mortgage. Good idea right? Well, the problem is that sometimes the payments are so high that the client ends up putting emergency expenditures, vacations and other expenses on high interest credit cards. The result is that people end up paying off 3%, 4% and 5% mortgage debt and building up 9%, 19% and 29% credit card debt. The high credit card interest can become unbearable and force the sale of your home. 35 year amortizations are still available! Conditions apply 2. Refinancing In some cases, we can use the equity from your house to payoff credit card bills, car loans, etc. This means we pay off high interest debt with low interest debt. We can’t always change how much money you owe, but we can change how much interest you get charged on it. 3. Cashback Would a cashback mortgage work for you? In this type of mortgage, you receive a lumpsum of 2% or 5% at closing which you can use to reduce bills etc. The extra money can reduce overall household monthly payments or can be used to payoff closing costs or mortgage penalty. The mortgage payments are higher for this type of mortgage. If you are struggling with month to month bills or know someone who is, call me BEFORE you miss a payment. Once you have missed payments reported on your credit bureau, lenders are less likely to approve your mortgage change. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

Requirement to perform samesex ceremonies lands in court STEVE LAMBERT

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — A former Manitoba marriage commissioner is asking a court to strike down the province’s requirement that all commissioners perform same-sex marriage ceremonies. Kevin Kisilowsky, who was forced out of his position when the issue erupted more than a decade ago, said the requirement violates his freedom of religion because he is a Christian who believes same-sex marriage is sinful. “Mr. Kisilowsky believes that the rights of same-sex couples to be married can be respected without forcing each and every marriage commissioner in Manitoba to perform such ceremonies, if the performance of such a ceremony would be against his or her conscience,’’ reads a factum by Kisilowsky’s lawyer, Jay Cameron, filed in advance of tomorrow’s scheduled hearing. Kisilowsky was one of several marriage commissioners who

either quit or had their privileges revoked following a 2004 Supreme Court of Canada ruling that legalized same-sex marriage. Like other provinces, Manitoba soon instructed marriage commissioners they would be expected to follow the law and perform ceremonies for all couples. Unlike priests, rabbis and other religious officials, marriage commissioners perform civil ceremonies only and must follow provincial guidelines. That is key to the argument, the Manitoba government said. Kisilowsky “can hold his Christian beliefs in his everyday life and employment without interference by Manitoba,’’ the government said in its written submission. “But when he volunteers to be a provincially licensed marriage commissioner . . . he must marry everyone without engaging in discrimination.’’ Kisilowsky originally tried to file a complaint with the province’s human rights commission, but it was dismissed.

The government pointed to a 2011 Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ruling on proposed changes that would have allowed marriage commissioners in that province to refuse to conduct services that violated their religious beliefs. The court ruled the changes would have given commissioners an exemption from the province’s human-rights code, noting similar logic could be argued by landlords, restaurant owners and others. Kisilowsky is still allowed to conduct marriages. Like all members of the public, he can apply for a temporary, one-time permit to officiate a wedding. But getting such a permit can take several weeks and the requirement is a hardship, his lawyer argued. “Due to the wait time and the fact that many of the candidate couples want to get married within a short time period . . . Mr. Kisilowsky has been forced to turn away at least four couples who he would have previously been able to marry.’’

VANCOUVER — A Crown prosecutor said a British Columbia couple found guilty of masterminding a terrorist plot, but then freed when a judge ruled they had been entrapped, are still a danger to the public. John Nuttall and Amanda Korody appeared via video yesterday in a Vancouver provincial court hearing called to consider if they should have to agree to a peace bond while an appeal is underway. Prosecutor Sharon Steele said the conditions of the bond have yet to be finalized, but Korody’s lawyer Mark Jette said they will likely be the same as bail terms now in place. Nuttall and Korody are prohibited from visit-

ing the B.C. legislature, the Canadian Forces Base in Esquimalt and any synagogue or Jewish school;. They are also forbidden from having weapons and must report regularly to a bail supervisor. The couple was found guilty last year of scheming to blow up the provincial legislature in 2013, but a judge overturned the finding, ruling the RCMP had manipulated the pair into carrying out the bomb plot. The peace bond hearings are scheduled to resume in January, when the couple’s lawyers are expected to object to the admissibility of some of Crown’s evidence. — The Canadian Press

‘Appalled’, but she mentored him JUDGE WHO MADE CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS TO SEXUAL-ASSAULT COMPLAINANT SUBJECT OF HEARING THAT BEGAN THIS WEEK BILL GRAVELAND

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — A Manitoba justice said she was initially appalled by comments a judge made to a sex-assault complainant, but agreed to mentor him. Deborah McCawley was the only witness yesterday before a Canadian Judicial Council hearing prompted by complaints about Justice Robin Camp, who asked a woman in a 2014 sex-assault trial why she didn’t keep her knees together A council committee is to determine whether he should keep his job. “I was taken aback to say the least. I was quite appalled at some of the words, some of the language used,’’ McCawley recalled thinking when first approached about mentoring Camp. “I wondered if I was wasting his time and his money. He was 63, a white South African male.’’ But she realized she was prejudging Camp. “I myself was guilty of the kind of thinking I’ve spent my whole career railing against,’’ she said. McCawley said she went with her instinct that he was “very sincere and committed — and I never doubted that again.’’ Camp’s comments while he was a pro-

vincial court judge in Calgary in 2014 led the Alberta Appeal Court to order a new trial for the man he acquitted. Court transcripts show Camp, who is now 64, questioned the complainant’s morals, suggested her attempts to fight off the man were feeble and described her as “the accused’’ throughout the trial. He asked her: “Why couldn’t you just keep your knees together?’’ and said “pain and sex sometimes go together.’’ On Tuesday, the woman testified she hated herself and had contemplated suicide as a result of her experience. Camp, who was born in South Africa, originally had a legal-aid practice that included some criminal law. As he became more senior, he took on mostly litigation cases. According to an agreed statement of facts, he was involved in the anti-apartheid movement and represented members of the African National Congress. After moving to Calgary in 1998, his practice focused mainly on contractual, bankruptcy and trust law, as well as on oil and gas litigation. He was named an Alberta provincial court judge in 2012, but did not receive training or judicial education on sexualassault law or how to conduct sex-assault trials. “What we learned in law school didn’t equip us to do a lot of things,’’ said

McCawley, who noted such trials are not easy, even for an experienced judge. “I told him he needed to trust me and . . . he might need to bare his soul when we talked about a lot of this stuff — and he did,’’ she testified. “I was struck by the fact his motivation was very much for the pain he had brought to his colleagues and his court and the damage he had done to the administration of justice.’’ McCawley said Camp received counselling, did a lot of reading and research and attended a three-day judicial conference that included courses entitled Sex Assault 101 and How to Conduct a Sex Assault Trial. She told the committee Camp is “teachable’’ and she is still surprised at the trial transcript. “He’s not a misogynist. He is not a racist. He’s extremely fair-minded. Part of my difficulty was trying to reconcile the transcript with the person in front of me,’’ McCawley said. “The more he grew, the more I realized he had the capacity to do the job and do it well. He’s a very compassionate, empathetic person.’’ The committee is make recommendations to the full judicial council. If it decides Camp should be removed from the bench, the final recommendation will be sent to the federal justice minister.

Wildfires put $1B dent in spending plans CALGARY — Alberta wildfires that swept through Fort McMurray in May have resulted in the loss of $1 billion in planned capital spending in the oilsands for 2016, according to Alberta’s chief energy economist. Matt Foss believes those plans are deferred, not cancelled. But he doesn’t know when or if companies will resume their spending given benchmark oil prices that remain below breakeven levels. Foss said the interruptions have dropped expected oilsands spending in the current

year to $18.5 billion from $19.5 billion estimated in the province’s spring budget. “The majority of them were expansions to existing projects,’’ he told reporters yesterday on the sidelines of a heavy-oil conference in Calgary. “It interrupted the logistics chain for them such that their ability to deploy workforce . . . over those months was no longer available and then the rebuild effort around Fort McMurray has them just hitting pause for the moment,” he said. “Hopefully, they will resume here later this

year or early next year.’’ Foss said lower costs have reduced the West Texas Intermediate price at which oilsands expansion projects make money by about $10 per barrel to US$50 to $60 per barrel — but noted that’s still higher than current prices in the mid-$40s. Figures provided by the oilsands companies to the province show about $800 million scheduled to be spent in May and June did not take place due to the upheaval in workforce availability and construction logistics caused by the fire, Foss said.

Although little damage was done to the projects themselves, rebuilding in the city

and globally known and I hope other organizations will follow their example.’’ The policies have yet to be adopted by Hockey Canada’s other provincial branches. “This has not been tabled by our members for discussion at a national level,’’ Hockey Canada spokeswoman Lisa Dornan said in an email. “Hockey is a sport for everyone and Hockey Canada strongly advocates the game as inclusive and welcoming of all athletes. “Hockey Canada supported the Ontario branches through the process with the Ontario Human Rights Commission, including the development of the policies, which are now being rolled out with new eLearning modules intended to be available this season for Ontario coaches and trainers.’’

OTTAWA — Transgender inclusiveness in Ontario minor hockey dressing rooms will go into wide effect this season. Hockey Canada’s Ontario branches agreed to change its policies after Jesse Thompson, a transgendered teenage boy from Oshawa, Ont., filed a human- rights complaint in Ontario against Hockey Canada in 2013. Thompson said he was denied access to the boys’ locker-room during the 2012-2013 season. He said the exclusion “outed’’ him and exposed him to harassment and bullying. A settlement was reached in 2014, but it has taken until this year for new policies to be developed and implemented. Hockey Canada’s Ontario

members committed to educate its more than 30,000 coaches and trainers by 2017 on transgender inclusiveness, according to an Ontario Human Rights Commission statement. The new policy states that “players who identify as trans can use the dressing room corresponding to their gender identity, be addressed by their preferred name and pronoun and have the privacy and confidentiality of their transgender status respected.’’ “I’m really happy that moving forward, trans kids will be able to fully participate with their hockey teams,’’ Thompson said in the statement. “For me, when I was on the ice with my team, nothing else mattered. “Hockey Canada is iconic

Bring Mediterranean flair to dinner MELISSA D’ARABIAN

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This week’s Italian squash bake is a true work horse. Want an easy, make-ahead weeknight side dish? This will do the trick. Hosting both vegetarians and meat eaters for dinner? Serve Italian squash bake along with grilled chicken or fish on the side for the carnivores and you’ll be all set. Since the recipe is quite flexible, you can easily make as much or as little as you need. The colours of the vegetable slices are pretty juxtaposed against one another, making this a company-worthy recipe with zero last-minute prep. A quick note to parents: Once you’ve sliced up the veggies, let your little ones do the layering — it’s a great way to include them in the vegetable cookery of dinnertime. And you almost can’t mess this up, aside from the esthetics. My daughter, who loves to help me make this, even considers it a (lightened-up) version of lasagna. She’s actually not too far off. This Mediterranean-style squash bake is inspired by a tian, which is a Provencal dish named after the earthenware baking vessel traditionally used to make it. A tian typically is loaded with veggies and then is often topped with lamb or salty pork. My squash version gets its flavour from calorie-free herbs, lemon juice and garlic cloves instead, plus just enough satisfying fat from a light dusting of cheese added in the final stages of baking. Since squash only packs in about 10 calories in a half-cup serving (and surprisingly only about a gram of sugar), a little cheese is the perfect touch of comfort. Bringing Mediterranean flair to your weeknight cooking routine might be just the thing your autumn needs. Food Network star Melissa d’Arabian is an expert on healthy eating on a budget. She is the author of the cookbook Supermarket Healthy.

ITALIAN SQUASH BAKE

Courtesy of Melissa d’Arabian, The Associated Press 1 medium-large zucchini, sliced 1 medium-large yellow crookneck squash, sliced 2 large shallots, sliced 2 tomatoes, sliced (halve slices into half-moons if too large) 5-10 garlic cloves 2 teaspoons dried Italian herb seasoning 1 tablespoon olive oil Juice of 1/2 lemon 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese, or mixed Salt and pepper Start to finish: One hour. Servings: four. Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray an eight-inch earthenware or regular baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Season the vegetables with a little salt and pepper. Layer the squash, tomato and shallot slices shingle style’ in the dish, alternating vegetables. Don’t hesitate to pack the vegetables in fairly tightly; the slices should not lay completely flat. Once the vegetables are all snuggly in the baking dish, sprinkle on the garlic cloves, and dried herbs. Drizzle on the olive oil and squeeze on the lemon juice. Cover with foil and bake for a half hour. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional half hour, sprinkling the cheese on top the last 15 minutes (for a total bake time of about an hour). Serve warm or room temperature. NOTE: This recipe is very flexible and can be scaled up or down.

here has been a lot of talk about B.C. VQA wine around town as of late. I wouldn’t be surprised if VQA came up as a most frequently used word in some Kamloops list around New Years. But, really, what does it mean? Is it really a big thing to your average wine drinker if a wine has B.C. VQA distinction or not? Well, kind of. B.C. VQA accreditation sounds very professional. Clearly, VQA grapes are good grapes. You can tell that by the letter ‘Q,’ since quality is one of only three words I can think of that start with it. It actually has as much to do with origin of the fruit as it does with the quality of the wine in the bottle. VQA stands for Vintners Quality Alliance. The B.C. VQA program is run by the B.C. Wine Authority. Wines are submitted to about 20 accredited assessors who smell and taste the wine looking for faults. That’s another job that pays you for drinking wine, in case you were looking. My understanding is that if the wine makes it through the assessment for taste and smell and meets all of the other regula-

tions (as defined in 56 sections and five schedules of the Agrifood Choice and Quality Act), it can bear the BC VQA distinction on its label. Now they are just sucking all the fun out of drinking wine. There is no doubt B.C. VQA wines bring something else to the table that their counterparts who haven’t gone through the process lack. But, does a wine need to be VQA to be good? Or great? I would argue no. B.C. doesn’t have a monopoly on good grapes. In fact, we are limited by our climate as to what varietals of grape we can grow. So, if you like a wine that is made from grapes that can’t be grown in our cooler region, you will probably be buying most of your wine without the B.C. VQA sticker. Does that mean it’s not from B.C.? No, again.

B.C. wine can be made from some B.C. grapes and grapes that were sourced from other provinces or countries and, therefore, wouldn’t meet the standard. If a wine was made in B.C. but uses grapes sourced exclusively from elsewhere, it could also be great and not B.C. VQA. Some wines meet all the standards and are great but never bothered to go through the process of assessment for whatever reason. Still, could be great wine! There were over 1,900 wines favourably assessed in 2015. If you want to support the program, and the local growers and wineries that support it, then I am betting you can find something that appeals to you. If it’s not as important to you as another aspect of your wine purchase — like price point or the label design — then there are still great wines to be found outside the B.C. VQA aisles. It all comes down to what you like and what is important to you. After all, your only job is to enjoy the wine. Bonnie McBride is a local wine blogger.

Steering older drivers down safer road Technology creating smarter cars can prevent aging drivers from getting in accidents

MICHAEL LIEDTKE

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

lder drivers may soon be travelling a safer road thanks to smarter cars that can detect oncoming traffic, steer clear of trouble and even hit the brakes when a collision appears imminent. A few of these innovations, such as blind-spot warning systems, are already built in or offered as optional features in some vehicles, primarily in more expensive models. But more revolutionary breakthroughs are expected in the next few years, when measures such as robotic-braking systems are supposed to become standard features in all cars.. Better technology, of course, can help prevent drivers of all ages from getting into accidents. But those in their 70s and older are more likely to become confused at heavily trafficked intersections and onramps. Aging also frequently limits a

body’s range of motion, making it more difficult to scan all around for nearby vehicles and other hazards. And older drivers tend to be more fragile than their younger counterparts, suffering more serious injuries in traffic accidents. “Anything that reduces the likelihood or severity of a collision is really a technology that is primed for helping tomorrow’s older adults,’’ said Bryan Reimer, research scientist for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s AgeLab and associate director of the New England University Transportation Centre. “We are moving toward an ecosystem where older adults will increasingly be supported by the technology that may help enhance their mobility.’’ Automakers are rolling out more technology just as the first members of the culture-shifting Baby Boom generation turn 70 this year. The 2011 census showed there was a 14 per cent increase in Canadians aged 65 and older between

Toyota plans to build automated emergency brakes into most of its models by the end of 2017. Automakers vowed to make them a standard feature by 2022.

Research scientist, MIT

2006 and 2011. Statistics Canada reported this rate of growth was more than double the increase for the Canadian population as a whole. The presence of safety technology will be a key consideration for three-

fourths of the drivers older than 50 who plan to buy a car in the next two years, according to a recent survey by auto insurer the Hartford and MIT AgeLab. In an indication that priorities are shifting, only one-

third of the surveyed 50-and-older drivers who bought a car during the past two years focused on safety technology. The push to engineer self-driving cars has helped heighten awareness about the role technology can

play in eliminating the human error that causes most accidents. Google, now part of Alphabet Inc., ignited the self-driving car research seven years ago when it began working on autonomous vehicles in a secret laboratory. Now, most automakers and other major technology companies, including Apple and Uber, are also working on selfdriving technology, though there is still

wide disagreement over when robotic chauffeurs will be ready — and legally cleared — to assume sole responsibility for navigating public roads. Google aims to have its fully autonomous vehicles cruising around by 2020. That objective is considered too ambitious by many auto industry executives and experts who believe self-driving cars are a See New, page A20

decade or more away from becoming a reality. In the meantime, plenty of other technology should be widely available for older drivers.

Earlier this year, the auto industry vowed to make automated emergency brakes a standard feature by September 2022, but it won’t be that long before the technology is widely available.

Toyota plans to build it into most models, including its Lexus brand, by the end of next year. Cameras on a dashboard screen that show what’s behind the car have become commonplace in recent years and will be mandatory on all new cars by May 2018. The equipment is expected to be especially helpful for older drivers with a limited range of motion. Other technology

expected to assist older drivers includes automated parking, and adaptive headlights that swivel in the same direction as the steering wheel and adjust the beams’ intensity depending on driving conditions and oncoming traffic. Robotic systems that temporarily assist with highway driving already are available, most notably in Tesla Motors’ high-end Model S. The electriccar maker released its

a Model S in autopilot mode crashed into the side of a tractortrailer while travelling 15 km/h above the speed limit on a highway near Gainesville, Fla. Federal investigators are looking into the cause. Highly publicized incidents like that may make it more difficult to persuade older drivers to trust the technology coming to their cars. Older drivers also will need help under-

Autopilot feature last fall, prompting some Model S owners to entrust more of the driving to the robot than Tesla recommends while the system is still in testing mode. For instance, some drivers have posted pictures of themselves reading a newspaper or book with the Model S on autopilot, or even sitting in the back seat. In May, an Ohio man was killed when

standing its benefits and how to use it, said Dale Rife, senior adviser to AARP. To help, AARP is planning to put more focus on car technology in its 37-year-old driver safety programs. “This evolution is going to accelerate in the next few years,’’ Rife said, “but people fear what they don’t understand. And if they don’t understand it, they will just avoid it.’’

o much of the outlook on the Kamloops Blazers’ forward group depends on perception. Ask Matt Revel and he’ll tell you to get your popcorn ready. “I haven’t felt a buzz around a team like this since my first year in Saskatoon when we hosted the Memorial Cup,” said Revel, the Blazers’ 20-year-old centreman from Abbotsford. “We’ve got a lot of guys with a lot of skill and a lot of guys who can put the puck in the net. It’s exciting for us and it’s exciting for Kamloops.” Critics will say there is a lack of depth up front, the team could use another top-six veteran and the forward group is not among the WHL’s best. The Blazers lost graduated 20-year-olds Matt Needham and Gage Quinney, both of whom were among the team’s top five scorers last season, and jettisoned projected top-six forward Jake Kryski, 18, in a trade with the Kelowna Rockets last month. Given the glut of defencemen on the roster, general manager Stu MacGregor might well pull the trigger on a deal to trade one of them in exchange for an experienced forward, but that’s just speculation. Let’s look at what the team

KTW is looking ahead to the 2016-2017 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign in a fivepart series that started two weeks ago. Stories will run each Thursday until Sept. 22.

Click on the ‘Blazers’ tab. does have — and why Revel and company believe fans should be champing at the bit for the home and season opener against Kelowna on Sept. 23. Collin Shirley broke out in 2015-2016 with a team-leading 79 points, 37 of them goals, and returns for his 20-year-old season with a C stitched to his jersey. In a 5-2 victory over the Rockets in pre-season action at Sandman Centre on Sunday, Shirley played left wing on a line centred by Washington Capitals’ draft pick Garrett Pilon and flanked on the right by the Blazers’ bright, shiny new toy, 19-year-old Latvian import Rudolfs Balcers. “I’m a good skater, I like speed and I just hope to be a goal scorer on this team, be a bigtime player and help the team to win games,” said Balcers, a San

Jose Sharks’ draft pick who spent the last two seasons playing pro hockey in Norway. Balcers looked dynamic in training camp and opened the scoring in both the Blue vs. White intrasquad game on Aug. 30 and his exhibition debut on Sunday. Summerland speedster Deven Sideroff, 19, signed with the Anaheim Ducks in May and is looking to improve on a sickness-shortened 2015-2016. He struggled to recover from mono throughout the first half of the season, but still managed to compile 19 goals and 59 points in 63 games. Rounding out the 19-year-old group are Nick Chyzowski, who quietly racked up 15 goals last season and blossomed into a reliable checking forward, and

2 people per week from the Fox and Sahali Liquor Store will qualify from the previous week’s entrants

Spencer Bast and Matt Campese, both of whom are good bets to crack the opening-day roster. Perhaps most crucial to the group’s overall success is the development of the three 18-year-olds — Pilon, Quinn Benjafield and Jermaine Loewen. “Each year, that group comes back and they’re bigger, they’re stronger, they’re quicker and they have more confidence because of all the hard work they put in in the summer,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “Now you go through the process of playing games and seeing how they handle it.” Pilon had 15 goals and 47 points in his rookie campaign last season and wowed fans — and NHL scouts, apparently — with good speed, shifty moves and slick hands.

When it comes to showing up to camp bigger and stronger, nobody did that better than Loewen, the 6-foot-4, 216-pound left winger who wants to score 15 goals this season. “I feel really good,” said Loewen, who had eight goals in 2015-2016. “I’m better with the puck, I’ve been working on my hands and I’m going to be very confident that I’ve improved. “I’ve got this role. Now, I’ve got to fit the role and play my best every night.” Benjafield, who was among the most impressive Blazers in training camp, was picked 19th overall in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft and will be expected to play like a first-round pick this season.

Erik Miller is the only returning 17-year-old forward, but seems likely to have company in his age group in 2016-2017, as 6-foot-2, 183-pound Scott Mahovlich of Abbotsford has pushed himself into the conversation. (Yes, he is related to the famous Mahovlich brothers. More to come in an upcoming edition of KTW.) “Whatever the coach wants, I’m going to do,” Mahovlich said. “If he wants me to be a power forward, I’m going to go in, check, hit and do whatever I can to win. “If they want to drop the gloves and do some business, I’m down.” Pushing for spots on the roster are 16-year-olds Jackson Shepard, Brodi Stuart, Ryley Appelt and Carson Denomie. None of them have eliminated themselves from contention through two pre-season games. Shepard, whom the Blazers picked 23rd overall in the 2015 bantam draft, and Stuart, both diminutive, scrappy forwards, have earned the admiration of Hay and likely have an edge at this point. “Shepard and Stuart are really doing well,” Hay said. “Denomie

Storm expect to have stalwart defence ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Garrett Ewert has an idea of what to expect from KIJHL hockey. That’s a luxury most of the Kamloops Storm’s defence corps doesn’t have. “It’s nice to see what the league is like,” Ewert told KTW. “I just got a quick peek at it last year. It was really good. “I expect a lot of tough hockey.” Ewert is property of the WHL’s Victoria Royals and the Storm feel he is a major junior talent, despite his not making the roster in the provincial capital this year. The 17-year-old rearguard played in two regular-season and five playoff contests in the KIJHL last season and is one of just two members of the 20162017 defence with junior B experience — fellow blueliner Jacob Callas played six games in Storm colours last season. He’ll likely anchor the club’s top pairing on a corps that will defend by committee. “Our defence, we have an inexperienced group, as far as the league goes, but I think we have a good young T H E

core,” Storm head coach Ed Patterson said. “By Christmastime, I’ll be shocked if we don’t have the top defence in the league, even though we have seven rookies.” Despite a number of strong talents, Kamloops was thin on the blue line last year. The club had six regulars on the back end, but that group included captain Brett Watkinson, who had been converted from forward. Lucas Byl spent a chunk of the season injured, so at times the club was playing with just four true defenders. With the new season set to get underway tomorrow with a contest at Memorial Arena against the Sicamous Eagles, the picture is decidedly rosier on the defensive depth chart. Callas and Ewert are part of what the Storm hope will be an eightplayer group, including fellow 1999-born players CJ Corazzin and Taylor Redmond and 1998-born Jake Delorme and Morgan Porier. “I’m not really concerned. I think it will be a lot of fun,” Corazzin said of making the jump to junior. The puck-moving I N T E R I O R ’ S

defender played for the Burnaby Winter Club last season and is property of the Vancouver Giants. “I think we have a bunch of fast forwards that we’re going to have to move the puck to if we want to get goals.” John Ludwig, who played with Ewert for the B.C. Major Midget League’s Thompson Blazers last season, will round out the contingent. The 16-year-old’s abilities could see him also on the team’s top pairing. All this is expected to be a boon for the Storm’s goaltending tandem, made up of newcomer Aris Anagnostopoulos and incumbent Spencer Eschyschyn, the latter of whom returned to the Tournament Capital from junior A earlier this week. “I’m looking to establish myself as the starter early,” Eschyschyn said, asked about the situation in the Kamloops crease. “It’s always friendly competition. You’ve just got to do your own thing, right? It’s all on you, how you play. You can’t let outside factors come in and affect that.” Despite the gaps on defence last season,

the Storm were still in the KIJHL’s top five in goals against, surrendering just 128 goals over their 52-game slate. With what is expected to be an improved defence, and with two hungry goalies, Patterson is pleased with what he has to work with. “Aris wants to prove that he has kind of been given the shaft the last couple years

and he’s really motivated to prove that he’s not the guy that people maybe pegged him for — that he’s hungry and motivated,” Patterson said. “I think that competition with Spencer every day, to see who gets the starts, is going to be awesome.”

Puck-drop party

The puck will drop on a new season

tomorrow at 7:35 p.m., but the Storm are hoping fans come early to celebrate the club’s move to Memorial Arena. Festivities at Kamloops’ downtown rink get underway at 5:30 p.m., with a tailgate party planned to take place between the arena and the Kamloops Curling Centre. Hotdogs and hamburgers will be avail-

able, with donations going to the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association, and fans will be entertained by a live performance from singer Jamie Shinkewski. The BC Wildlife Park’s birds of prey will also be on hand and, should the Storm win their season opener, all game tickets will be redeemable for free admission to the park until Thanksgiving.

“At the same time, we did a lot of things that were uncharacteristic of ourselves.” The Panthers’ offence expects to benefit from the return of Kelvin Benjamin, their top wide receiver in 2014 who missed all of last season with a torn ACL. While Benjamin’s return gives the Panthers a physical presence at wide receiver, Miller said the Broncos defensive backs will once again be up to the challenge. “Benjamin is like a safety blanket for Cam,’’ Miller said. “He’s a deep, really big receiver — really talented, very fast and can jump. Luckily we have the best secondary in the National Football League.”

Tiger eyeing return to golf next month DOUG FERGUSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARMEL, Ind. — Out of golf for more than a year, Tiger Woods said yesterday he hopes to play the first event of the PGA Tour season next month and could play as much as twice more before the end of the year. Woods said if his rehabilitation from back surgeries keeps

going well, he would play the Safeway Open in Napa, Calif., from Oct. 10 to Oct. 13. “My rehabilitation is to the point where I’m comfortable making plans, but I still have work to do,’’ Woods said in a surprise announcement on his website. “Whether I can play depends on my continued progress and recovery. My hope is to have my game ready to go.’’

Woods last played on Aug. 23, 2015, at the Wyndham Championship. Two shots out of the lead going into the final round, he closed with a 70 and tied for 10th. A month later, he announced he had another operation on his back. Then, Woods had a third back surgery in October. He missed all four majors for the first time in his career.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Coach Ron Rivera said if the Carolina Panthers want to beat the Denver Broncos tonight, they’ll need to stay out of third-and-long situations. That’s something Cam Newton and company failed to do in a 24-10 loss to the Broncos in the Super Bowl seven months ago. Denver’s top-ranked defence forced the Panthers into thirdand-8 or longer on 12 separate occasions. That didn’t bode well for the Panthers; those plays resulted in seven punts and two gamechanging strip-sacks by MVP Von Miller leading to 14 Denver points — the difference in the game. “A big part of it is you have to have success on first and second down,’’ Rivera said. “We didn’t have the success’’ in the Super Bowl. The Broncos took full advantage, disguising coverages and sending extra pass rushers at Newton as part of their “green dog’’ blitz package.

Shirley Gaile Bremner On July 3, 2016 Shirley Gaile Bremner passed away peacefully at her home in Berwick on the Park. She was born in Vancouver on April 9, 1933. Gaile met the love of her life Gordon Bremner (Gordie to her!), when they were youngsters going to school. Gordie used to carry her books for her! But, when her dad retired from CP Rail, her parents made the decision to move to California and they were there for several years. Several, several years later … Uncle Gordon and Gaile started corresponding (I believe it started with a Christmas Card). Their friendship and mutual attraction won out and they were married in Vancouver. Auntie G moved back to Kamloops (of course, because Uncle G wasn’t going anywhere) where they lived until Uncle G’s passing on November 20th, 2012. Auntie G truly pined for him till now, where in her heart of hearts she knew they would be together again. Auntie G is lovingly remembered by her niece Donna (Art) Fisher and family of Victoria and many other family and good friends.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Patrick Vincent Malbeuf

Evelyn Barbara Stevens (nee Weir)

February 23, 1947 - September 4, 2016 It’s with great sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Patrick Vincent Malbeuf on September 4, 2016. He was born February 23, 1947 in Cold Lake, Alberta. Pat was surrounded by family who reluctantly said goodbye to a man with a great heart, a trickster with a sense of humour, a man loyal to those he loved.

With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of Barbara Stevens at the Kamloops Hospice on Friday, September 2, 2016.

He is survived by his wife Brenda, his very special and treasured son Branden, adult children Nicole and Jason, Jason’s wife Sarah and granddaughter Madeline. He will be greatly missed by his brothers and sisters, many of whom he moved back to Kamloops to be close to. His younger siblings Barbara and Debbie, Debbie’s husband Ken, Keith, Dan and Dan’s wife Jackie, his older brother and confidant Peter Malbeuf and numerous nephews and nieces; all will feel his loss greatly. He will be missed by many people in both Kamloops and Edmonton. Although he had not drove for some time Pat fondly remembered driving trucks all over BC and the Arctic. He also worked for CN in Kamloops before moving to Edmonton to raise his family. He loved nature, panning for gold and exploring the world around him. There will be a casual gathering at his brother Dan’s home, 2346 Young Avenue, Friday, September 9th, 2016 4:00-6:00 pm followed by a short ceremony in MacArthur Park to scatter ashes in a spot he often visited. Those that knew and cared for him are welcome. The family wishes to thank the ICU staff at the Royal Inland Hospital who cared for Patrick with great kindness and respect. Pat was fond of the following quotes: It is only the first step which is difficult. There are no endings and no beginnings, only changes.

Barbara was a friend to everyone, a beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She worked hard in her life to have a positive impact on those around her and has touched the hearts of so many lucky people. She gracefully fought her leukemia, adamant not to let the “C” word diminish her strong-willed nature. She taught us all a lot about life and will be missed beyond words. As per her wishes, there will be no funeral for Barbara, but please take a few moments to remember her laugh, her smile, her heart and remember her often. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice in Kamloops, B.C where Barbara was treated with such love and dignity. In her own words, “have yourself a beautiful, joy-filled day with lots of smiles coming your way and lots of beautiful smiles going from you, bye for now.”

On Thursday, September 1, 2016 Frances passed away peacefully at her home in Brocklehurst Gemstone Care Centre. Born on January 29, 1927 in Edmonton, AB to parents Mary and Gerald Gibson, with siblings Royce, Carman, Verna and Vivien. During her childhood years, the family lived in Bangor, SK and Bittern Lake, AB where her dad worked as a farmer/rancher and she and her siblings attended elementary school. Then in 1937 a move to Avola, BC to a small farm on the Thompson River. Frances completed elementary school in Avola and attended high school in Kamloops, finishing grade 10. In 1946 she enrolled in the Fine Arts Academy in Banff and received her Dress Making diploma. She married her childhood sweetheart Elmer Lundeberg in 1947 and another move to Cranbrook, BC. Together they also lived in Barriere, Lillooet and Heffley Creek. She was predeceased by her parents, loving husband Elmer, her brother Royce and sisters Verna Cedarholm, Vivien James and her nephew Douglas Gibson. Frances is survived by her brother Carman of Vernon, BC and her children Beverley (Patrick) Fleming of Lillooet, Arthur (Linda) Lundeberg of Maple Ridge and Peggy (Alan) Robinson of Kamloops, seven grandchildren Tammy Levy, Jason (Kari) Fleming, Shelley (Ryan) Cranstone, Kimberley Reed, Chrissy (Blaine) Bynuck, Jamie Lundeberg, Michael (Karley) Robinson and thirteen great-grandchildren Kayleigh, Aidan, Liam, Jackson, Jesica, Katie, Aliyah, Makayla, Isabella, Ben, Cooper, Emma and Iris, also many nieces, nephews, cousins and great nieces and nephews.

R.I.P. ~ Mom, Grama, Great Grama Forever loved and remembered by “All your Family” You have touched each and every one of us in a “Very Special Way”. Thank you for being you. Your example of a life well lived will never fade. A Celebration of Frances’ Life will be held on Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 1:00 pm in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC.

So when you are lonely, sick at heart, go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, miss me – but let me go.

Ross Duncan Forrester September 16, 1950 – August 8, 2016

We are extremely devastated and heartbroken with the passing of our dear Ross on Monday, August 8, 2016. You are so missed every day and will remain in our hearts forever. Ross has left behind a wonderful family, your loving and devoted wife Heather of 30 years; sister Eileen Bennett and her husband Howard of Richmond, BC and their daughter Carla (Sheldon), Paris and Jasmine of Calgary, Alberta; son Adam (Jennifer), grandsons Rylan and Cole of Sylvan Lake, Alberta and son Derek (Terine) of Red Deer, Alberta; sister-In-Law Elaine Forrester of Wetaskiwin, Alberta and her daughter Shelley (Alan) of Gwynne, Alberta and their sons Chad and Jared and son Rod (Chris) of Wetaskiwin, Alberta; brother-In-law Don Mark (Randi) and their son Randon (Jennifer) of Burnaby and many other relatives. Ross was predeceased by his Mother Thelma; Father Doug and Brother Gordon. Rylee our puppy, and your devoted companion, misses you horribly! Ross was born in Vancouver on September 16, 1950 and started assisting his dad in his teens with HVAC work on the ships. That career would be with him throughout his entire life. He left Vancouver in 1974 and moved to Kamloops as he wanted to live in a smaller community and never looked back. After arriving in Kamloops he worked at Weyerhaeuser, Interior Plumbing & Heating, School District #73, Hotel 540 and J. Walsh & Sons. He retired from School District #73 after 20 years. He explored being a Pilot Truck Driver for a time and enjoyed seeing other parts of the country and creating many friendships on his travels. Ross was an avid skier, went on various canoe trips with the guys including the Bowron Lakes and the Kettle Valley Railway bike trip, enjoyed golfing and loved to travel in our 5th wheel and see the country. He had started a “trailer fund” in the hopes of purchasing another 5th wheel to carry on with what we loved and explore the country. He loved to socialize with friends, neighbours and acquaintances and share his overstocked garage with anyone that needed anything. Ross loved life and lived life to the fullest until his health became an issue and it overcame him. Ross always had a smile on his face and had a very outgoing personality and never had any difficulty talking to anyone about anything. Family was of utmost importance to Ross. His presence is missed greatly. Special thanks to Dr. J. O’Connell for his invaluable dedication; Dr. B. Proctor and the staff at the Cancer Clinic and everyone else that provided care to Ross throughout the years. Your dedication has been invaluable. Donations will be gratefully accepted in Ross’ memory by the Canadian Cancer Society and Heart & Stroke Foundation. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 17th, 2016 at 2:00 pm at the Hotel 540, Rivers Room, 540 Victoria Street, in Kamloops. There will also be an “Open Mic” for those wishing to pay their respects to Ross. Memories of Ross can also be shared by emailing hforrest@telus.net and they will be read at the Celebration of Life. Rest in peace buddy until we meet again. Love You Forever. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

FLOWER POWER

LOCAL DJ RECYCLING EVENT DECOR, GIVING BACK TO COMMUNITY GROUPS

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

esse Faubert is tired of turning off the music to watch garbage bags fill with food, decorations and flowers. The Kamloops DJ has worked more than 150 events this year and the trash has piled up after a decade in the industry. “Doing so many weddings and so many big events, I’ve just seen an enormous amount of waste when 2 a.m. rolls around,” Faubert said.

Beyond the landfill, he also knows the time and work service providers put into setting the mood. “To see them [food and decorations] just thrown out during the end of the night didn’t really make sense to me,” Faubert said. Common Initiatives began intervening in July, picking up and repurposing event flowers and distributing them back into the community. Timing is critical with the perishable product, so the flowers are collected at the end of the evening or picked up the next day. Bouquets and centrepieces are then taken to Faubert’s Common Sound studio on Victoria Street, where they are dismantled and reorganized into new arrangements before being delivered to the hospice, hospital, women’s shelter and seniors’ homes. The Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice and Berwick on the Park are among recipients and the list continues to grow as word spreads and new connections are forged. Seeing recipients’ faces makes the initiative a “no-brainer” for Faubert since the summer launch, but the service has also been in high demand among event planners. Organizers of up to four or five events donate flowers each weekend, Faubert said, and sizeable arrangements go a long way. One large bouquet, for example, can be broken down into four or five smaller bedside table vases. “A lot of the flowers we’re working with are a really well put together and well cared for product,” Faubert said. “We typically get them when they’re just in their prime so they do last.” See INITIATIVE, B2

Some tips for reducing waste at events:

• Choose foods in season to reduce carbon footprint; • Avoid disposable dishes and opt for reusable ones whenever possible; • Offer pitchers of water with glasses in lieu of bottled water; • Utilize technology to avoid paper invitations, etc.; • Choose decorations that

Common Initiatives also picks up the old flowers after dropping them off. By composting them, the idea is for old flowers to eventually fertilize new ones. “It’s a full circle of recycling,” Faubert said. Faubert first looked into redistributing leftover food, but

due to legal hurdles, decided to focus on decor. With a bit of research, he learned New York businesses are charging for a similar service, but he wants to keep it free and running on volunteers. “We’re the entertainers and we entertain during the night, but what’s the takeaway?” he said. “We can have a bigger posi-

tive effect on the world.” Common Initiatives is targeting mostly Kamloopsbased events for now, but with Common Sound expanding to Victoria this fall, the sky’s the limit. Organizers of events both big and small can request the pickup service online at commoninitiatives.ca. Faubert is also seeking additional volunteers.

A cafe to discuss death DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

For the most part, people don’t talk about death until it happens — and often, it’s a challenge knowing how to talk about it, said Patricia Davies. It’s why she and Helen McFadyen are planning a series of three death cafes, gatherings designed to create a safe space to talk about everything related to death. Davies said while the free public gatherings are not about God, spirituality is bound to be discussed, as is contemplating the reality of death and the process of grieving. Calling it a process belies the reality, Davies said. “They say there are seven stages of grief but that doesn’t mean you go through them

one stage at a time. You may go back to stages. You may not go through all the stages,” she said. “Grief is so personal.” Death cafes are offered around the world. The template is simple: bring people together, don’t do it for profit, find a respectful and confidential space, don’t lead people to conclusions or actions — and make sure there is cake to eat. The cafe concept was created by Impermanence, a British company that works to increase awareness of death. Its creator, Jon Underwood, said he believes death can play a role in enjoying life and also address larger global issues like elder care,

climate change, economics and inequality. He draws inspiration from the work of Bernard Crettaz, a Swiss sociologist and anthropologist who organized the first cafe in 2004. Since September, 2011, there have been 3,463 death cafes, most in Europe, North America and Australaia. The first cafe is on Monday, Sept. 19, starting at 5:30 p.m. at The Art We Are, 246 Victoria St. The goal is to start the conversation, Davies said, and then move forward with one each in October and November. The possibility exists the cafes would be monthly if there was sufficient interest, she said.
